Two New Boats, Designed for Simplicity
Now on display at the Southampton Boat Show, meet the all-new Boatworld Lite and ST ranges, engineered to make boating lighter and simpler than ever. The ultra-portable Lite range is your ultimate go-anywhere companion, folding neatly into a rucksack for effortless transport. For those seeking enhanced performance, the innovative ST 240 features a clever short transom, blending the stability of a solid engine mount with the space-saving flexibility of a round tail. Both are designed for quick, reliable deployment, helping you get on the water with less hassle and more time for adventure.
The Boatworld Lite range is your go-anywhere inflatable companion — compact, ultra-light, and effortlessly deployable. As our lightest range to date, each boat folds neatly into its own rucksack, making it a perfect choice for yacht tenders, campervans or tight storage spaces. Built for simplicity, there are no slats or inflatable keels to wrestle with — just inflate and go.
The Lite range holds its own on the water, thanks to an integrated V-shaped planing hull that offers stable and efficient tracking. Designed with practicality in mind, every model features built-in carry handles, pre-fitted davit rings, and all the essential fittings for a smooth day afloat. Whether you’re hopping ashore or exploring inland waterways, the Lite range delivers quick, reliable performance in a grab-and-go package.
VIEW THE RANGEThe Boatworld ST 240 takes everything you love about a round tail inflatable and refines it into a smarter, more stable design. With its clever bonded short transom nestled neatly between the oversized stern tubes, the ST 240 delivers excellent on-water balance—especially when running a motor—while remaining compact enough to stow in smaller lockers or campervans. At 25.4kg, it’s light enough to carry solo, yet tough enough to take up to a 4hp engine.
The rigid transom offers the practicality of a standard mount, without sacrificing the space-saving flexibility of a round tail layout. A built-in planing V-hull ensures solid tracking with no fuss—no keels, no mats, just quick, reliable deployment. Whether you're heading off solo or packing light for your next trip, the ST 240 is a versatile, dependable choice for boaters who value performance and packability.
